De'Aaron Fox has withdrawn from Team USA hours before their departure to Australia ahead of the start of the World Cup.

Fox was a strong candidate to make the roster after his impressive performances in practices and scrimmages. Fox played in just six minutes in Friday's exhibition game against Spain.

Derrick White will now likely make the final roster.

P.J. Tucker has withdrawn from USA Basketball's World Cup roster leaving the team with 14 players for 12 spots.

Tucker cited a minor left ankle injury.

"I twisted it in a game last Friday and again in practice [Thursday] and I know they're about to go to Australia," Tucker told Houston's KRIV-TV. "I didn't want to be hobbling and then come back [injured] in camp. It just made sense."

Tucker was the oldest player in camp at the age of 34.

Team USA lost to the Select Team twice during 10-minute scrimmages on Wednesday. The Select Team is largely comprised of G League players who helped the United States qualify for the World Cup.

The first loss was by three points with the second loss in front of media ending at 38-17.

With many top players dropping from the World Cup team, there have been concerns about the quality of the roster.

The Select Team is coached by Jeff Van Gundy.

Kyle Lowry has announced on Instagram he has withdrawn from Team USA for the 2019 World Cup.

Lowry underwent surgery on his injured thumb this offseason, but he had hoped to be cleared to play in the tournament.

Team USA will feature Kemba Walker and De'Aaron Fox at point guard.
